A great game, a great series in fact. A pleasure to watch and bring it to you. Hope you had fun tuning in as well. A historic series win for NZ, they could win a T20I series on this trip too. There'll be more from this game over the couple of days. Do check that out catch us for the T20Is. Thanks again for joining, take care and goodnight.
Bracewell collects the trophy from BCCI President, Mithun Manhas. He then goes to the Winners corner and a couple of cheers go up before players take time with the trophy.
Michael Bracewell, NZ Captain: Always a pressure to come and play here. First time a NZ team has won an ODI series here, that's special. You always hope to come here and play good cricket. As a group, we've stuck to what we do well. We're the sum of all the parts of the team and work as a group. We're a small country from the bottom of the world and take on big ones. Mitchell's been amazing in ODIs for a number of years. He's a humble guy, seeing him get his rewards is special. Having three debutants this series and getting to experience the crowds has been cool. Growing the depth of cricket in NZ is awesome.
Daryl Mitchell, POTM and POTS: It's really nice to contribute and to win over here. The way we built partnerships, with Young and GP. Always nice to get stuck into moments with your mates. I'm just trying to concentrate on being present, watch the ball and repeat, and make some good decisions. GP is a mate, awesome to see him get a 100. He's been out injured, proud of how he's come back. I love playing for my country, took a while to get here, domestic cricket taught a lot.
Shubman Gill, India captain: After the first game, coming here 1-1, the way we played was disappointing. Lot of areas need improving. Virat bhai's batting, Harshit's batting have been plusses. Fast bowlers have done well. Keeping WC in mind and where it will be, we want to give Nitish opportunities.
Jayden Lennox: Wouldn't say easy. Seeing a star-studded line-up, to put winning performances is special. Special to have our first one-day series here. I've not overcomplicated the game. I've played on small grounds. I pride myself to do well at the death and create pressure in the middle. Aim of left-arm spin bowling in short-form cricket is not to be predictable, not let batters get underneath or step-hit. Atmosphere, I thought it'd make me more nervous than it did. Relatively inexperienced unit, performing in high-pressure environment. Kudos to the set up in NZ operating at the moment.
This is india's first home odi loss after winning the toss since october 2022, Sid Monga informs
9:26pm Hugs all around. Mitchell after tonning up, captains NZ in Bracewell's absence. Far from a full-strength side and yet they've come back from 0-1 to win 2-1. It started with Foulkes and Jamieson taking Rohit and Gill cheaply. Clarke and Lennox came on to get Iyer and Rahul. Then Kohli and Nitish put on a good stand, then Rana gave Kohli support. Two fifties and a Kohli hundred wasn't enough as Foulkes returned to get Rana and Siraj. Kohli tried to carry the game on his shoulder but holed out to long-off.

Effective free hit? Or too early for that?
